Verkhratsky, Alexey

Alexey Verkhratsky is a prominent neuroscientist specializing in the study of glial cells, which support and protect neurons in the brain and nervous system. His research focuses on understanding how these cells contribute to normal brain function, as well as their roles in neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. Verkhratsky’s work enhances our knowledge of brain health and may lead to new treatments for neurological disorders. His contributions help bridge gaps in understanding the complex interactions within the brain's cellular environment, emphasizing the importance of glial cells beyond their traditionally recognized supportive functions.
